Tracks in Good Order at Epsom

SOME INTERESTING DISPLAYS Enthusiasts were early astir at Alexandra Park this morning, but a dense fog hindered operations, and the usual • ticking’’ brigade found it difficult to snap the early birds. After breakfast things; were better, and some good displays were given by several of the visitors. The Early Elird Luvan waa the first to step out and left 12 furlongs behind in a pleasing manner. The racy-looking mare did everything right and finished up a good task in genuine fashion. She did not appear to be hampered by the heavy mist.

Vestas Pleases Vestas was geared up and sent at top pressure! over a few alternate furlongs, before being asked to step out the Derby distance. When warmed up he hopped away smartly and gave a clean exhibition of pacing and showed he is possessed of a good turn of speed. Medusa Improving

Medusa, the Man-o’-War —Miss Rolfe filly, was admired by the track watchers for the manner in which she conducted herself over several circuits. While she is not forward enough to be given a chance in the classic, she is sure to make good later. Sweated Profusely Concliffe was not fully extended in a mile and it-half bout, although the speed was on occasionally. The handsome chestnut sweated a good deal during the task. A Solid Trotter Yeung Blake pleased the onlookers by the resolute . manner in which he hustled over three circuits, and made many friends. The trotter is in fine fettle.

Good Derby Pair Monopole appeared to be going better than Harvest Child at the end of 12 furlongs. Both . Derby candidates made a good impression by their display. • Dual Cup Winner Aliuriri, unhoppled, accomplished a useful two-mile task, finishing up with a fast half-mile. The dual New Zealand Cup winner is very well and will be in demand on Saturday.

A Handy Bracket An attractive work-out was given by Tom Thumb and Talaro, and the pair reeted off a mile and a-half at a solid clip, the final circuit being cut out in splendid time. Holmes’s pair will be bracketed in the big event on Saturday. Free Advice Improves

Free Advice and Logan Rothschild were associated in a 12-furlong bout. The pace was on throughout and the two were on terms at the post, with, honours in favour of the Derby candate. It was a nice piece of work. The Shrew Is Prime

The Shrew moved over several circuits in good style, leaving a few furlongs behind in quick time. She was joined by the trotter Wild Lad, who showed a good turn of speed, ancl together they ran several circuits in pleasing fashion. Bob Logan Goes Solid Bob Logan worked at a useful clip over 12 furlongs, the last half being the faster of the three. Bob is well and hitting out attractively, and is a solid customer.

A Useful Pair Van Rich and Uncle Bert had an interesting set-to over four circuits, the pace being well on over the last 10 furlongs. Van was in the van till nearing the box where J. Lynch tickled Bert up and he drew level over the last bit.

Peter McKinney Well Peter McKineny and Marble Star after being warmed up, stepped at a brisk pace over a mile and a half, the former being well clear at the end. He was taken along another half and finished up a good task impressively. The Petereta gelding is in excellent condition.

A Bad Breaker Red Dennis was given strong work, over several circuits but was never quite at home. He put in a few bad breaks and did not impress by his display. Anselinc Goes Nicely

Joe G€*e sent the trotting mare Anseline along at a merry pace and she never put a foot wrong. Her exhibition gained her many friends for Saturday.

The Haw«ra Trio J. Bullock, the veteran trainer in charge of Mr. J. R. Corrigan’s team, restricted his trio, Petroleuse, Sister Beatrice and Queen Elizabeth to walking and jogging exercise. The latter, is

a handsome filly by Man o’ War from Queen Chimes and will take her field in the Derby. New Arrivals L. Berkett with Imprint, Marshal Neil and Caterpillar,' H. Frost in charge of Talent and William the Great, and R. B. Berry with Machine Gun, Sea Pearl and Nella Dillon, arrived from the South by the express this morning. All bear a well conditioned appearance. QUIET AT MANGERE By the small amount of track work registered at Mangere this morning onu would hardly think that a meeting opened on Saturday. The grass track was available, The Tartar, Realty, and Araroa being the only ones to work on it. Only a few trials were witnessed on the dirt track. The Tartar Inconsistent The Tartar registered a good two miles on the grass track, and finished very strongly. He was sent away to a standing start, and soon struck a correct gait. However, later on he spoiled a good morning’s work by breaking badly when sprinted with Araroa and Realty. Realty Improving With Araroa as a companion, Realty was hustled along over a mile, and though he is not ready, his work was an improvement on that of Tuesday. Nelson Fame in Good Order The October Handicap favourite, Nelson Fame, after being warmed up, was sent over a fast mile, and driven out at tiie finish. The time registered was good, and suggests that this speedy fellow is in tip-top condition. Betty Moko Ready Betty Moko was not asked to do better than three-quarter pace, though she appears to be quite herself LIGHTWEIGHTS SCORE THE CESAREWITCH ENGLAND’S DISTANCE HANDICAP Press Association.
